The city fortification has six towers, five gates, seven city wall sections and a large bulwark.
The city walls are closed in winter, open from May 1st to November 1st.

The circuit of the fortifications goes around the medieval square. Maps available in each tower or at the tourist office. Access to the towers is free. On the other hand the circuit is a little difficult.

Freiburg has still preserved a lot of the city fortifications.
